A box of books with mass 43 kgkg rests on the level floor of the campus bookstore. The floor is freshly waxed and has negligible friction. A bookstore worker applies a constant horizontal force with magnitude 25 NN to the box. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the box?

a = 0.581 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Newton's second law that states that force is proportional to the mass and acceleration of the body

We write a frame of reference with the x axis in the direction of the floor

       F = m a

       a = F / m

Let's calculate

       a = 25/43

       a = 0.581 m / s²

The direction of the acceleration is the same direction of the force

this is poiselle's equation from fluid mechanic in physics. mech eng

all three of these explorers explored the midwest and the area around the great lakes, which they subsequently claimed for france.

this was a big portion of territory and expanded new france which before then only consisted of quebec province in northeastern canada
